My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

REBEL....A black Lab Mix, 4 years old, 70 pounds. Here is his rescue story ... "I was hoping that you could help me with a personal rescue (one based on a 40 year friendship) by getting the male lab mix into Keg. You ways give updates and it took a village to save this dog. Rebel came from Georgia with the help Of my husbands trucking company. He has been on antibiotics all infection is clear, he has finished heart worm treatment and is negative as of today. He had his shots today and will be neutered on Tuesday. All vet expenses are already paid. He does need a home without cats. He does well with everyone tested so far 3 years old and older. His life was horrible until he got to Tennessee. Had never seen a vet and he did have a shattered front right leg. It healed as best as it could on its own in Georgia. The vet says he will always walk with a limp but there is no need to remove the leg and the fracture was too old to repair correctly. I am sending you the vet records in hopes that Keg will accept him. Please let me know." I am with KEG Rescue as mentioned in Susan's bio for Rebel. She and I worked a puppy abuse case many years ago..that is how we met. My name is Lisa. Contact me at 731-499-0739 or oatsvall973@yahoo.com. Rebel is currently located in West Tennessee. The fee listed is to cover transport if needed. If not needed...there will be no fee required as all vetting has been covered by Susan. Our rescue has not spent any money vetting Rebel.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

KEG Rescue is a small rescue . We work with several rescue group from New England to help adopt our pups/dogs and move them into GREAT homes. New England states have worked hard to pass great laws concerning spay/neuter. By passing these laws they there aren't as many "unwanted litters" in the New England States. There are several transport companies that bring southern rescue pups north to their new homes. KEG Rescue utilizesRed Fern Ranch Transport. Be sure to check them out on Facebook. They are sure to keep adopters updated as the transport is traveling.

Our adoptions are directly thru our website (although we do hope to expand to foster homes in New England if possible). it’s not possible to arrange a meeting of the pup before adoption. This type of adoption doesn't work for everyone and we would be happy to put you in touch with some of our sister groups who have pups on site. The adoption fee covers all of the vet work that has been performed prior to adoption. All of our pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated as age appropriate. If you are still interested in adopting from us, please email for an application. We have several adoption coordinators that process the applications and will contact you.

The puppy/dog you inquired about is still in a southern foster home.

More about this rescue

KEG Rescue was started in 2009 and became a Chartered Non Profit on May 28, 2010. It started as a few people wanting to help the many unwanted puppies and dogs in our area. We are one of many rescues in this area as there are so many homeless pets. All our rescues have a common goal of educating the public about the importance of pet ownership and the benefits of spay/neuter

We do this by private adoptions from our site and also partner with other rescues in New England. We believe that these "throw aways" and "mistakes" deserve a forever home of their own.

WE receive our pups/dogs in many ways- we pull from several kill shelters, dogs that are abandoned, and from people who call who need to surrender their own dogs or whose dogs have had puppies. We also focus on not only the many puppies that are down south we also focus on adults that sometimes are harder to place because of their age/size. It is very easy to fall in love with the puppy face but there are even more adult dogs that are abandoned down south
